I was following IHB/forums and came here.

BTW- whatever happened to IrvineRenter?

He sold all his possessions, rented a car, and drove to Utah, where he shunned society. He made a video about double rainbows that went viral. Rumor has it he's living in Bryce Canyon National Park.

he parted with IHB and started ochousingnews.com.  brace yourself for SEO optimization overload if you check out his new site
 
I came here from IHB Forums. I don't remember exactly how I found IHB; most likely I was searching something about Irvine and IHB popped up in Google search. I've been lurking on both forums (IHB saw just a single comment from me LOL). I created account on TI not long ago and I still don't know why :). I guess I started to spend more time on this forum as I was trying to familiarize myself with the state of RE in south OC and then thought that the forum account may become handy in case I have any questions or have something to say.
 
I googled "hot Austrian who enjoys basketball and 3CWG" and ended up here! Fate!

Or I might have found IHB when searching for my house in 2008 or 2009.

Feb 2007 - my first post is straight into a pro and cons discussion on Village of Columbus

How did you happen onto the IHB? And what made you decide to post more on TI? (if I may ask)

i answered the first part already :)  OCFlipTrack --> IHB --> TI

post more on TI than OCReader or just go from being silent or sporadic posts to posting multiple times a day?  for former, ocreader seemed stagnant and the layout and massive number of folders made it confusing.  also felt like very members who knew each other.  for latter, i like to warm into situations.  as i read more, felt like participating more and more

during the bubble days, i read a lot of the bubble blogs and i think the first OC specific was OCFlipTrack or something like that....IHB started after and managed to surpass them quickly.  arrived to TI from IHB though i didnt know about TI until a while after it started. 

still cant figure out ocreader so as far as neighborhood forums go, TI is the only forum i participate on

That's funny. I came from OCFlipTrack too.  Waaayyyy back when real estate never went down.  I then gravitated to IHB then here.  Man that was a long time ago...at least one kid ago.

Still freaked out by that mouse/kiwi avatar.  ???

Anyone else mind my avatar? Any "Save the mice" or "Stop kiwi offenders" club members?  ;) Seriously, if people find it distracting/disrespectful/disgusting/etc. I?ll take it off.

It looks like he's settled down in Woodbury

It's fine... but I am in awe at the detail... even the green blood. But where is the tail?

i dont understand the reference...and while its a really disturbing pic, it doesnt bother me that you have it
 
I was a faithful lurker on the IHB forums, until they shut those down. 

Didn't know about TI until recently, when I was searching for information about irvine schools as I struggled with my own private school vs. public school debate.

Fixed that for you.

Oh, oh, oh! What an act! TRACE - ask me how I know!  :D IHO doesn't know this yet but... curiosity finally got the best of me. Let's just say he's quite different from what he portrays. I was very surprised. I won't say I was shocked because I always knew he was exaggerating talking about how "fat and ugly" he is, but I was still surprised nevertheless! Since it's just us girls reading this, I'll tell you a secret. Just between us, he's actually very attractive! With all due respect, of course, Mrs. IHO is a lucky woman. In my opinion, anyway... but I think you would agree for sure.

I knew it!

And...how do you know???

<-- Is now sure that SoCal is blind.

No, IHO has set the bar so low that anything looks better now :)
SoCal, not trusting- seeing is believing. IHO should post his picture to prove he is fat, or to prove Socal right.
Agree, Trace?
